Merriam-Webster Adds 1,000 New Words to Their Dictionary

Reference book publisher Merriam-Webster just added more than 1,000 words to its most recent edition of the online dictionary, including “terms from recent advances in science, borrowings from foreign languages, and words from tech, medicine, pop culture, sports, and everything in between,” the company said Tuesday, Fox 25 WFXT reports.

Before this week’s additions, Merriam-Webster hadn’t updated its website listings since 2014, according to the Associated Press.
